Day I Found It

My wife was working in Ballater and I drove up through the splendid wilds of Glen Shee and along beautiful Deeside to meet her for lunch. She had suggested that we meet in the Station Café and when I arrived there I saw why. The room in what had been part of the old Royal Station was delightful and fascinating. The food was excellent and the service attentive. It is one of the attractions of a most attractive town to which we have returned several times since.
